Hi there..first thing I wanted to say is so sorry for what you are going through..I know exactly how you feel cause the same thing happened to me in 2010..I was way late on my cycle (I think I was on CD 36 when I started to test..3 HPTs (First response) were positive, DF saw them too..bought a digital to know how far along I was and it said not pregnant..got some more First response and again they were positive and when I did another digital it was again negative..so I went in to a clinic and they did blood work but on the day I was there (at the clinic) I started to spot..a few days later I got the results back from the clinic my HCG was slightly elevated (so it was a positive) but the levels were so low that they did not correspond with the amount of weeks I should have been so they said it was most likely a m/c starting..I never m/c as is usual (clots and heavy bleeding) but AF was quite heavy that time so I guess I had conceived but not much had happened after..Again I am so sorry you are going through this and I hope that your results from the Dr. will be positive..Keep us posted..View Thread

Hello ladies, I am so sorry for your losses..I am in the same situation right now..DF and I would just like to have one more BB but fate seems to have different ideas for us because we have been trying for a little while and so far we have not succeeded in giving birth..we have our DS who is 3, and we also share the responsibilities of a his and hers family (he has one DD and I have one also and another DS from previous relationships)..altogether that is 4 kids but another LO would be such a blessing..Last summer I m/c at 6 weeks along after getting a surprise BFP...I am now also m/c (was again 6 weeks) and this time we had used OPKs for the first time (this Jan.)I am feeling so bummed about losing another pregnancy..I know I have already been blessed so many times on this subject but I feel like I just am having no luck lately I am also thinking that we should just count the blessings we do have and stop trying but DF wants us to at least see a specialist..I am not sure so we are discussing what to do.. what will you ladies be doing?View Thread

With the start of every cycle it brings along the knowledge that you did indeed ovulate..if you got your monthly then your egg did it's thing the opks just didn't do theirs..What could of happened is that you might have had a very short LH surge and so missed it..if you are familiar with opk testing you'll know that the luthenizing hormone (LH) will start to rise as your ovulation approaches..when this LH peaks is when you get a positive to tell you that ovulation will occur within 1-2 days..if you test once a day only, it's possible for this LH surge to have passed by in between the two times that you tested in those 2 days..what I do is that once I see the live starting to darken..still not a positive, I start testing twice a day to make sure I don't miss it..January was the first time I used opks and I got a positive on CD18..keep it up, you might just need a little more practise with them..good luck in your TTC journey and don,t hesitate if you need to talk View Thread

Hi liv, 1st of I wanted to say that there really is only 1 person that should be telling you what is happening to you and that is your family Dr. Of course people will tell you what they think happened but a full check up at your Drs office would offer you peace of mind..It is possible that the 1st lonely spot of blood that you saw was implantation bleeding (from a starting pregnancy) and that would of been why you didnt get to use those tampons for those 4 weeks..unfortunately if that is what occurred then it also means that the blood and clots you passed probably were a m/c..Again I stress that you should consult your Dr or Ob asap to get a medical diagnosis..(((Hugs))) to you and I will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers View Thread

Hi andie..I hope today finds you in a better place emotionally and physically..I am doing better..as I posted to another member who recently miscarried also, I chose not to stay home and dwell on this bas time in my life and I know it sounds heartless but the 1st day it happened I literally spent all day crying over it so I pushed myself to go in to work that night (I work the night shift too) and pushed myself to laugh and try not to get too down about it..I have a great support system so that has helped me also and I still have some days (mostly on sundays) where I think about it..sundays because that was the turning point of the week so every sunday I think "today I would of been this many weeks" I just choose to accept that this LO was meant for Heaven and there really is nothing I could of done or do now that can change that..so I grieve when I need to but I dont let this incident define my days and nights..my life must go on and it is much better to look at it positively..I understand the being drafted into a club that you never want to be a part of..it sucks but here we are..I know the nights can be long when you work the over night shifts and that that is the time when your thoughts can really run away on you but do try and think positively..I know that that can sound very hard to do right now but being negative can really get to a person sometimes and then things can start to look bad in other places and we dont want that..your LO will always be a part of you and your mate but needed to go where he is now and there is a reason for that..sometimes its a reason we'll never know about and we must move ahead with our lives anyhow..there is always a reason and you were blessed with knowing him for the short period of time that you did..Lastly I am glad to know you and have someone to share this time in my life with and will be here for you if you need to talk again..til then think positive and try to smile each day it will brighten up your days..View Thread

I am so sorry to hear that you are at this crossroads again...I really dont know what to say to you to help make you feel better because I know that right now the only thing that could would be better news concerning you LO..I miscarried 2 weeks ago and I am doing better because I have chosen to laugh and not let myself get too down about it.. I know this sounds heartless and trust me on the 1st day it happened I was crying all day long but because of that I decided to push on through and go to work anyhow because I knew if I stayed home I would only dwell on it and cry some more..I am lucky to have a great DF and co-workers who stepped up their game to help me out of it..Im not over it yet but Im able to function which I find great..With that being said every woman is different and every woman needs their own amount of time to grieve and every woman grieves in different ways so do not feel bad or sad or angry at yourself for the way that you need to grieve..it is a part of you and who you are..Just know that your 2 LO's were destinied to go up to Heaven when they did and there is nothing different that you could of done that could of changed anything..I hope you are surrounded by a good support system and that you are taken care of during this difficult time..If you need any extra we are ALWAYS here to talk or just to listen..plz keep us posted..You are in my prayers <3View Thread

(((HUGS))) for what you're going through..I know that losing a pregnancy is very difficult and I find that its especially hard when you had just found out and hadnt even had time to enjoy it..I also miscarried last week..I found out on july 25th and was 5 weeks along and 1 week later I went to the ER because I was spotting and wanted to reassure myself that all was well..With my son (who is almost 3) I spotted also from week 5-6 so I figured it was the same thing..After taking some blood and getting the results the Dr. sat me down and told me that for a 6 week pregnancy my levels (215) were considered low and that I was probably starting a miscarriage..by the next day I was and am now back to spotting as it all started out..Its sad when these things happen but I try to tell myself that there is a reason for everything that happens..I know that is not something you want to hear but it has helped me to put things in perspective..My fiancée and I tried to conceive all year last year and only ended up pregnant once and we lost that pregnancy at 6 weeks along..we then decided to stop trying and this last pregnancy was a complete surprise (as was the miscarriage)I dont know what the futur hold for us but I tell myself that if its meant to be then it will be.. in the meantime take the time you need to heal from this..yes husbands and boyfriends dont take the same route when it comes to dealing with these things..some men act like its nothing but they are not the ones that had a life growing inside them so it is not the same emotion for them either..I hope he is being supportive to you though and if you need anything you can always come and talk with us here..we are always glad to listen and offer some words of comfort..Take care of yourself and keep us posted View Thread

I am so sorry that you are going through this tough time right now..I know that losing a pregnancy leaves you feeling hollow and wondering what could of been..to have the added stress of your husband's health problems and car accident I agree must be making things over the top..Take some time for yourself to grieve but also to rest and try to find your center again..I also miscarried recently (last week) and although I was only 6 weeks along it has left me feeling a little lost..every sunday I think "today I would of been this far along" but I also know that with time I will heal..Surround yourself with friends and family that can be supportive of your physical and emotional needs as well..take the time that you need to get through this..every woman is different and needs their own amount of time..Lastly we are all her for you if you need to talk or cry or vent or whatever you may need..all you have to do is write and we will answer..(((HUGS))) again and good luck..plz keep us posted View Thread
